OO.org 2.0?

[Rui Tiago Matos]

Hello, Chris Halls (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/ChrisHalls) seems
to be taking care of this. Maybe we will have some unofficial apt
repository as I guess OOo 2.0 is going to be released too late to
enter Hoary.

Actually I'd like to know what's the status of OO 2.0 in Debian which
I think the Ubuntu one is based upon. Either way you can compile OO
yourself after Hoary using the Debian sources (once it is packaged
there). I do it in Warty with ex. Firefox 1.0.
